OVERVIEW: A veteran crime reporter, Nick Mullins was no stranger to scenes of violence and loss. He was well practiced at keeping tragedy at arms length with a professional detachment - until he was forced to face his own tragedy when a drunk driver took the lives of Nicks wife and one of their two daughters, forever shattering his world. Now, with a nine-year-old to raise on his own, Nick struggles to balance single fatherhood with a career that daily puts him into the dark corners of death and justice. When a convicted murderer is dramatically ad publicly gunned down with a single bullet to the head in front of a county jailhouse, Nick is immediately dispatched by his newspaper to cover the story. But when he realizes that the victim was the subject of one of his old stories, Nick is drawn into the investigation. He soon discovers that the sniper is not only targeting criminals, but Nick himself . . .
